Already a sensation in her native Italy, singer Vanessa Tagliabue Yorke made her American debut at the Tribute to Bix Beiderbecke Festival in Racine, Wisconsin in 2012. Backed by an all-star group including Dalton Ridenhour (piano), Andy Schumm (cornet), Dave Bock (trombone), John Otto (clarinet), Josh Duffee (drums), and others, she mesmerized the crowd with her powerful renditions of songs of the 1920s, '30s, and '40s like "Blue River," "Thou Swell," "The Very Thought of You," "Black Bottom," "Petite Fleur," "Them There Eyes," and others. Fortunately, Rivermont Records was on hand recording, and this CD is the result of that remarkable "live" set, capturing all the excitement and superb music. 63 minutes.
